Here are my initial carpings on Trump’s bombing of Iran:
If only the Japanese had issued a "time for peace" statement after bombing Pearl Harbor like Trump did tonight. Shakespeare wrote: "Cry havoc and loose the dogs of war." Trump had his 4 minute victory lap statement tonight. Will he still be strutting on Independence Day? pic.twitter.com/gfBDrkaeeW

Is the MAGA flip-flop embracing Trump's warmongering on Iran as dramatic as the Communist Party's 1939 flip-flop on Hitler after the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was announced? @mtracey @paleoliberal @DanielLMcAdams pic.twitter.com/aJHRETjZFZ

VP Vance explains that it is fine & good for the US to launch bombing attacks on foreign nations because we no longer have a "dumb president." Is this the best the White House spin docs can offer? https://t.co/EX1L3nhvyR

The @SecDef Hegseth press conference offered mindless adulation of Trump in lieu of a clear explanation & justification for a preemptive attack on Iran.

Exaltation here and elsewhere on social media over last night's carnage. But bombing a foreign nation is not a mere theological affirmation. pic.twitter.com/496WanQpYi

All these Trump team & MAGA victory laps after Trump's attack on Iran. But there is not a 24 hour time limit for vast evils to fly out of Pandora's Box after it is bombed open.

Trump babbles "now is the time for peace." @nytimes headline far better captures the chaos and carnage that Trump may have unleashed. Far easier to "enter" a war than end it. pic.twitter.com/iZZYA7Mp0D

Will Trump have better luck fighting Iran than the U.S. Navy had fighting the Houthis? WSJ blows the whistle on stunning fight-to-a-draw https://t.co/KcWJ0GoaWI

Lucky that Trump, @JDVance, & @SecDef Hegseth finished their post-bombing victory laps before @nytimes revealed that Trump missed perhaps most important target. pic.twitter.com/UYHhBIWdxU

And a few hours before Trump formally entered the war against Iran…
